Reading Challenges for 2022

Two of my biggest reading goals involve reading the unread books that have been sitting on my shelves for years, and reading more diversely. I’ve found one of the best ways to motivate me to achieve these goals is through reading challenges! I’m a mood-reader, so I won’t share defined TBRs for each challenge (since I know I’m...

Beat the Backlist Challenge (2021)

One of my biggest reading resolutions for 2021 (aside from not buying every shiny new release that catches my eye) is to read more of the books that I already own.

Now, try to remember that feeling you got when you first picked up one of their books – and, more importantly, that feeling of awe when you finished reading it...

ARC August: Final Update

It’s the last day in August, which means it’s time for the final ARC August update! This month, I read the following ARCs. If you’re interested, you can click on the cover image to be taken to my review. I also read Powered by Cheyanne Young, which doesn’t have a cover image yet. My review will be posted...
